Determinants of Infrastructure Development in Kenya

Empirical research on the macroeconomic factors influencing infrastructure development has yielded inconclusive results, with significant variations observed across studies. This study examines the determinants of infrastructure development in Kenya using a time series data analysis framework, with data spanning from 2003 to 2024. The study’s main estimates use the generalized-method-of-moments (GMM) estimator that allows us to account for the potential endogeneity of the infrastructure and...

AGRO-ECOLOGICAL ZONING OF IRISH POTATO BASED ON WATER REQUIREMENTS AND CLIMATE VARIABILITY IN THE RWANDAN HIGHLANDS (A case of Congo-Nile ridge)

The area of study is located in the Northern and western Provinces touching the following districts: Musanze, Nyabihu, and Ngororero. Rwanda Being a country with an economy essentially based on rain-fed agriculture, it is with no doubt vulnerable to negative effects of climate change, its adaptive capacity to impacts related to extreme meteorological phenomena is very low (MINITERE, 2006). The above-mentioned reasons have given us the occasion to conduct our research focusing on “agro ecolo...

Kifilideen’s Rule: A Groundbreaking Approach to Solving Product Index Nonlinear Simultaneous Equations with Two, Three, Four, and 𝒏 Variables

Many real-world and social problems give rise to product index nonlinear simultaneous equations, which traditional solution methods, whether direct or iterative, fail to solve effectively. These equations appear in diverse fields, necessitating a specialized approach to ensure accurate and efficient solutions. Existing methods for solving linear simultaneous equations are insufficient for addressing product index nonlinear simultaneous equations. Given their frequent occurrence in practica...
